內容簡介

內容簡介 「一本可以證明克萊恩有能力將流行文化和刺激故事結合起來的精彩小說」─美國聯合通訊社紐約時報暢銷科幻小說《一級玩家》作者續作！柴克‧萊特曼是個科幻電影、電玩迷，大部分的時間都花在看科幻小說和打電動上，現實生活中發生什麼事他並不不是太在意，可說是全心全意活在虛擬世界中，甚至希望某天某件大事發生，把他自己彈離這個世界。某天，他的願望成真了！他居然看到一艘太空船出現在天空中，他原本以為自己發瘋了，因為這艘太空船居然跟他最愛的電玩遊戲裡Armada裡的太空船長得一模一樣，而且電玩主題就是抵抗入侵地球的外星人！更誇張的是，這艘太空船只是一個開端而已，接下來發生的事件都讓他開始質疑，以前自以為了解的地球歷史是真是假？而且他還要開始真正當起英雄拯救世界，這一切會不會有點太……「虛構」了？From the author of Ready Player One, a rollicking alien invasion thriller that embraces and subverts science-fiction conventions as only Ernest Cline can. Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure. So when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of escapism have finally tipped over into madness. Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight simulator callled Armada--in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders. As impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too real. And it's just the first in a blur of revlations that will force him to question everything he thought he knew about Earth's history, its future, even his own life--and to play the hero for real, with humanity's life in the balance. But even through the terror and exhilaration, he can't help thinking: Doesn't something about this scenario feel a little bit like...well...fiction? At once reinventing and paying homage to science-fiction classics, Armada is a rollicking, surprising thriller, a coming-of-age adventure, and an alien invasion tale like nothing you've ever read before.
